UCL open access guidelines and publishing guide

UCL
guidelines on open access and a publishing guide are now available to UCL
researchers.

The RCUK
Policy on Open Access introduces, with effect from 1 April 2013, new
open access requirements for research papers funded by the Research Councils.

UCL Library Services, with the Office of the Vice-Provost
(Research), has drawn up some guidelines, which explain how the policy will be
implemented at UCL and set out the different methods of complying.

To support researchers, UCL Library Services has also compiled
a publishing guide that includes advice and tools tailored to UCL's RCUK-funded
authors, enabling them to claim funds for open access charges and deposit their
publications in UCL
Discovery.

UCL staff may also view the submissions (UCL username and password required) by
the Vice-Provost (Research) to Parliamentary inquiries on open access.
